What are short and long term effects of exercise on skeletal muscles? ?
This is a very broad question and it depends greatly on what exercise you plan to do but if you exercise correctly then your health will only get better, naturally, with exercise if you work at a high enough intensity and push yourself enough then your muscle will grow through hypertrophy. If you do not exercise correctly you are putting your body at risk, there is no real hazard with long term muscle damage as muscle has great regenerating properties. In planning your exercise it is also important to take into account the damage done to the rest of your body, particularly the skeleton. exercises like running can be very unhealthy because of the weight placed on your joints. the most likely damage you could do to your muscles is tears and pulls, you just have to know your limits and warm up and cool down properly and you will have no problems.
